Passage One 26. A）The air becomes still. B）The air pressure is low. C）The clouds block the sun. D）The sky appears brighter. 27. A）Ancient people were better at foretelling the weather. B）Sailors’ sayings about the weather are unreliable. C）People knew long ago how to predict the weather. D）It was easier to forecast the weather in the old days. 28 A）Weather forecast is getting more accurate today. B）People can predict the weather by their senses C）Who are the real experts in weather forecast. D）Weather changes affect people’s life remarkably 答案 26. [B] The air pressure is low. 27. [C] People knew long ago how to predict the weather. 28. [B] People can predict the weather by their senses. 原⽂ To find out what the weather is going to be, most people go straight to the radio, television, or newspaper to get an expert weather forecast. But if you know what to look for, you can use your own senses to make weather predictions. There are many signs that can help you. For example, in fair weather the air pressure is generally high, the air is still and often full of dust, and far away objects may look vague. But when the storm is brewing, the pressure drops, and you are often able to see things more clearly. Sailors took note of this long ago, and came up with the saying, “The farther the sight, the nearer the rain.” Your sense of smell can also help you detect the weather changes. Just before it rains, odors become stronger, this is because odors are repressed in a fair high pressure center. When a bad weather low moves in, air pressure lessens and odors are released. You can also hear an approaching storm. Sounds bounce off heavy storm clouds and return to earth with increased force. An old saying describes it this way,“Sounds traveling far and wide a stormy day will be tied”. And don’t laugh at your grandmother if she says she can feel a storm coming. It is commonly known that many people feel pains in their bones or joints while the humidity rises, the pressure drops, and bad weather is on the way. Question 26: Why does the speaker say we can see far away objects more clearly as a storm is approaching? Question 27: What does the speaker want to show by quoting a couple of old sayings? Question 28: What does the passage mainly talk about? Passage Two 29. A）They often feel insecure about their jobs. B）They are unable to decide what to do first. C）They are incompetent to fulfill their responsibilities. D）They feel burdened with numerous tasks every day 30. A）Analyze them rationally. B）Draw a detailed to-do list. C）Turn to others for help. D）Handle them one by one. 31. A）They have accomplished little. B）They feel utterly exhausted. C）They have worked out a way to relax. D）They no longer feel any sense of guilt. 答案 29. [D] They feel burdened with numerous tasks every day. 30. [B] Draw a detailed to-do list. 31.[A] They have accomplished little. 原⽂ Many days seem to bring numerous tasks and responsibilities, all of which apparently must be tackled right away. You spend a day putting out fires, but by the end of the day, you haven’t accomplished any of the really important things you set out to do. In desperation, you draft a “to-do” list. But most days, you can make little progress with it. When you look at the list each morning, a big fat cloud of doom is right at the top—those difficult, complex, important tasks that are so crucial to get done and so easy to avoid. Plenty of us create a “to-do” list to address feelings of being overwhelmed, but we rarely use these tools to their best effect. They wind up being guilt-provoking reminders of the fact that we are over-committed, and losing control of our priorities. According to Timothy Pikle, professor of a psychology at Carlton University in Ottawa. People often draw up a “to-do” list and then that’s it. The list itself becomes the day’s achievement, allowing us to feel we’ve done something useful without taking on any real work. In fact, drawing up the list becomes a way of avoiding the work itself. “Too often, the list is seen as the accomplishment for the day, reducing the immediate guilt of not working on the tasks at hand by investing energy in the list,” says Pikle, “when a list is used like this, it’s simply another way in which we lie to our selves.” Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you’ve heard. Question 29. What is the problem that troubles many people nowadays according to the speaker? Question 30. According to the speaker, what do many people do to cope with their daily tasks? Question 31. According to psychologist Timothy Pikle what do people find by the end of the day? Passage Three 32. A）Their performance may improve. B）Their immune system may be reinforced C）Their blood pressure may rise all of a sudden. D）Their physical development may be enhanced. 33. A）Improved mental functioning B）Increased susceptibility to disease C）Speeding up of blood circulation D）Reduction of stress-related hormones 34. A）Pretend to be in better shape. B）Have more physical exercise . C）Turn more often to friends for help D）Pay more attention to bodily sensations. 35. A）Different approaches to coping with stress. B）Various causes for serious health problems. C）The relationship between stress and illness. D）New findings of medical research on stress. 答案 32. [A] Their performance may improve. 33. [B] Increased susceptibility to disease. 34. [D] Pay more attention to bodily sensations. 35. [C] The relationship between stress and illness. 原⽂ In many stressful situations the body’s responses can improve our performance. We become more energetic, more alert, better able to take effective action. But when stress is encountered continually, the body’s reactions are more likely to be harmful than helpful to us. The continual speeding up of bodily reactions and the production of stress-related hormones seem to make people more susceptible to heart disease. And stress reactions can reduce the disease-fighting effectiveness of body’s immune system, thereby increasing susceptibility to illnesses, ranging from colds to cancer. Stress may also contribute to disease in less direct ways by influencing moods and behavior. People, under stress, may become anxious or depressed and as a result may eat too much or too little, have sleep difficulties, or fail to exercise. These behavioral changes may in turn be harmful to their health. In addition, people are more likely to pay attention to certain bodily sensations such as aches and pains when they are under stress and to think they are sick. If the person were not under stress, the same bodily sensations might not be perceived as symptoms and the person might continue to feel well. Some researchers have suggested that assuming the roleof a sick person is one way in which certain people try to cope with stress. Instead of dealing with the stressful situation directly, these people fall sick. After all, it is often more acceptable in our society to be sick and to seek medical help than it is to admit that one can not cope with the stresses of life. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the conversations you have just heard. Question 32: What does the speaker say about people who encounter stress once in a while? Question 33: What does speaker say frequent stress reactions may lead to? Question 34: What are people more likely to do when they are under stress? Question 35: What does the passage mainly talk about?。

2016年12月英语六级（CET6）真题及答案（完整版））2016年12月CET6大学英语六级考试真题及答案解析【官方完整版】Part I 写作Writing (30 minutes)Directions: Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on innovation. Your essay should include the importance of innovation and measures to be taken to encourage innovation.You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【参考范文】It is universally acknowledged that innovation refers to being creative, unique and different. In fact, today it is impossibly difficult for us to image a 21st century without innovation.We should place a high value on innovation firstly because innovative spirit can enable an individual to ameliorate himself, so he can be equipped with capacity to see what others cannot see, be qualified for future career promotion, and be ready for meeting the forthcoming challenges. What’s more, we ought to attach importance to the role played by innovation in economic advancement. Put it another way, in this ever-changing world, innovation to economic growth is what water is to fish. To sum up, if innovation misses our attention in any possible way, we will suffer a great loss beyond imagination.In order to encourage innovation, it is wise for us to take some feasible measures. For example, mass media should greatly publicize the significance of creative spirit and encourage the public to cultivate awareness of innovation. Besides, those who manage to innovate should be awarded generous prize. Though there is a long way ahead to go, I am firmly certain that theshared efforts will be paid off.【参考译文】众所周知创新意味着有创造力，独一无二和不同。

Thenproduction and availability will begin to seriously decline. Thisis not to say there will be no petroleum at this point. But it’llbecome very difficult and therefore expensive to extract.W: Is that the most important reason to develop alternative fueland energy sources?M: The two very clear reasons to do so, one is that whether wehave 60 or 600 years of fossil fuels left, we have to find otherfuel sources eventually. So the sooner we start, the better off wewill be. The other big argument is that when you burn fossil fuels,you release substances trapped into the ground for a long time,which leads to some long-term negative effects, like global warmingand greenhouseeffect.13.

Patients had been undersignificantly more strains than some 30,000 healthy controlsubjects. Those strains came from work, family, financial troubles,depression in other causes.

Into this empty casing,the teachers are supposed to stuff “education”.

It is the drawing out of what is in the mind.“The most important part of education,” once wrote William ErnestHocking, the distinguished Harvard philosopher, “is thisinstruction of a man in what he has inside him”. So many of thediscussions and controversies about the content of education arefutile and inconclusive because they are concerned with what should“go into “ the student rather than with what should be taken out,and how this can best be done.

Hold on, Peter. I thought you said your organization was non-violent. What do you mean by “harass”? M: Well, we circle round and round the ships and get in the way when they try to dump the drums of nuclear waste in the sea. We talk to the men and try to change, you know, yell at them to stop. We generally make ourselves as much of a nuisance possible. M: Well, people may think differently of your methods but there’s no doubt you’re doing a great job. Keep it up and good luck. And thanks for talking with us. W: Thanks for having me. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversations you have just heard.

2016年12月英语六级听力原文及参考答案
2016年12月英语六级听力原文及参考答案听力稿原文section AConversation 1气候变化和全球经济发展W： Professor Henderson could you give us a brief overview of what you do， where you work and your main area of research？M： Well the Center for Climate Research where I work links the science of climate change to issues around economics and policy。
Some of our research is to do with the likely impacts of climate change and all ofthe associated risks。
W： And how strong is the evidence that climate change is happening that it‘s really something we need to be worried about。
M： Well most of the science of climate change particularly that to do with globalwarming is simply fact。
But other aspects of the science are less certain or at least more disputed。
And so we‘re really talking about risk what the economics tells us is that it’s probably cheaper to avoid climate change to avoid the risk than it has to dealwith the likely consequences。
